Partner Testimonials

“The folks at Urban Elevator are consummate professionals. The maintenance technicians are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Urban Elevator’s maintenance program has gone a long way towards improving elevator reliability at our rental properties across the city.”

Yoni P.

“I want to thank Urban Elevator for doing a fantastic job modernizing our elevators. Not only do the elevators work much better, but the technicians were clean and friendly, and the people in their office were easy to work with. Job well done.”

Amber K.

Board Member.

“Urban Elevator is a life saver. Out of the blue, a city inspector showed up at our building and gave me a report with a list of problems. Urban Elevator came up with a plan to fix everything and it was all done within a matter of weeks. They were even able to save us money by retrofitting some of the equipment.”

Richard K.

Property Manager.

“The only elevator in my office building was broken. The company I had been using told me they couldn’t fix it and that I needed to purchase an expensive upgrade. Urban Elevator Service came in with a much more reasonable solution that had us up and running in no time. I can’t thank them enough!”

Sarah L.
